It looks like the edges of the case bottom are all pretty much even. I would think you could get a piece of acrylic to lay over the case. Then make an opening in the acrylic (.5"?). Then use the depth gauge attachment on the dremel to sit on top of the acrylic. Set the depth of the bit and go to it. I would make sure to put the case bottom on a non-slip rubber mat so it doesn't move around.

Yeah same, I wonder if you could use the drill press thing and use it as a kind of dodgy mill.

You can, but you need end mills. I've been using my drill press as a "dodgy mill" for a few years now.

doing the drememling on the cases should not void the warranty. if it does, i will be pretty upset as i was told by one of the customer service reps from CC that i should dremel the casing when i told him i had a fan failure.

The CC rep told you to dremel the case , why was this not done from the factory then

I did not cancel my back order ( as i was going to ) after seeing the mostly positive results with V2 and it looks like the order is being procesed tomorrow . However i am not impressed that you still have to do the same mods to V2 as you did with V1 and the CC reps are recommending the mods .
Why weren't these issues resolved ?

My Tower Order (placed May 6), now shows "invoiced, processing in warehouse". Damn, and I leave Tuesday morning for the Ocean...there is no way its going to get to me in time, I was hoping to have it prior to going out there. Watch it get stolen off my front porch while I'm gone.....that would just figgure after waiting this long!

I'm proud yours is on the way. Kinda ticks me off though. I ordered mine May 3rd, and Mike's order was in before Tower's and we still don't have ours. They'll all be here soon, which is great, but I dont think Mike was taken care of properly. Just my .02.

WOW!!! This is Crazy!!! I too placed my order from Mike on May 3rd hoping to be caught in the first wave. But with Mike being shorted, I'm left still waiting like many others for that order of ~50 he's supposed to be getting any time now. Now I hear Tower is able to fulfill orders that were placed a month later. This is unacceptable, especially since he claims to have had his orders in before them!!! The only solace I still have in the matter is that Mike always ships very fast (usually gets to other side of the country here with-in 1-2 days, much quicker than Tower who only comes half-way across the country).

You guys are blaming mike for something that he has no control over... It sucks that castle is having trouble with the demand for the esc, but blaming mike for the order not getting to him yet is ridiculous.
